Before and After: the Sequel

{ABOVE FROM LEFT TO RIGHT ARE PICTURES OF MY BEFORE, AFTER, BEFORE AGAIN WHICH IS NOW THE PRESENT LOOK. . . AND THE LAST IS WHERE I NEED TO BE AGAIN}

I don't know how many of you watch NBC's "The Biggest Loser". . . but I do!!! About two years ago, I lost my dad to a massive heart attack. For all of my life, my dad had been morbidly obese. I too have had my battles with weight loss, and I want to make a difference!! It's time to get up off the couch and get healthy. What inspired such a sudden change? Why now after two years? Well. . . back to the show! There are these two contestants this season that are a father and son couple. Ron is the father and Mike is Ron's son. Mike also has a younger brother named Max who is also Morbidly obese. When they started the show, they collectively weighed a whopping 800 plus pounds!! That's kind of strange because at one time, my dad and I weighed collectively around 800 pounds together!! Now, after 18 weeks they have lost over 300 pounds as a team. . . so after crying about some memories of me and my dad, and seeing this once over 800 pound father and son team complete a 26 mile marathon. . . I thought. . . why not me? What have I been waiting for? I had the victory once before, what has got in my way? Pride. . . It's the only answer that seems to make sense! So now. . . what? Erik begins the transformation again. . . and my blog will be logging the journey. See first hand what I eat and how much I exercise. Maybe only one person will read this blog, but if that one person changes the lives of thousands. . . well. . . I guess the person of this one person is. . . done!!
